User Supersearch

User Supersearch improves the user search functionality in the admin backend.

Key Features

• Extremely Fast: Built with fast vanilla JavaScript for a seamless experience.
• Highly Optimized: Queries leverage highly optimized SQL EXISTS blocks, ensuring zero slowdowns on large databases.
• Exact Match Options: Includes a “Whole Word Search” option to force exact matches instead of fuzzy fallback matches.
• Future-Proof: Robust PHP 7.4 – 8.x compatibility.

WordPress search is quite restrictive by default as it only allows you to search for users by username or email. With User Supersearch, you will be able to search by first name, last name, phone number, or any custom user meta field that exists in your database.

Furthermore, it automatically detects and includes WooCommerce billing and shipping meta fields, improving tremendously the search experience for WooCommerce users. It is fully compatible with all custom user meta fields plugins, such as Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), Pods, User Meta, ACPT, etc.

There is also an “OR” feature: for example, you can search for users that have “London” or “Paris” in their billing or shipping city. Check the fields billing_city and shipping_city in the User Supersearch settings. Now in the Users page, simply type “London or Paris” into the search field.
